The GUI needs to support over 1000 nodes in a single cluster

The GUI needs to support over 1000 nodes in a single cluster; for example, our project already has a requirement to support around 3000 nodes.There is a limitation in GUI: for a single K8s cluster, it cannot be split into multiple GPFS client clusters for support, meaning one K8s cluster can only connect to a single GUI (equivalent to a single cluster). With the development of AI and model training businesses, in commercial collaborations with many VIP customers, the scale of a single K8s has long exceeded 1000, such as 2500, 3000, or even more. These customers were once loyal users of GPFS, but when encountering this limitation, IBM could not commit to supporting a resolution, forcing them to consider selecting other HPC products that meet their specifications.
